The conversation moved on to the deafening silence on the Romo front, both in Houston and in Dallas. Florio noted there is likely to be no progress until the league meetings later this month. He also correctly stated there is no real rush for Dallas to make a move, whether it be trading Romo or releasing him.

Florio pointed out that the intensity of the media coverage in Dallas could be playing a factor. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones loves the spotlight, and when the Texans came out as a likely destination, the two big papers in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex assigned writers to the Texans beat. That’s bad for Jones and the Cowboys.

Our take

This is a very plausible theory, one which has come up in social media interactions on various articles from this and other websites. It cannot, and should not, be discounted. But it’s also just one piece to a larger puzzle. The time factor Florio noted is the bigger piece, and more credibly explains the sudden silence in the Romo-to-Houston discussion.
